Underwater Camera Housing

Underwater is a term describing the realm below the surface of water where the water exists in a natural feature (called a body of water) such as an ocean, sea, lake, pond, or river. Three quarters of the planet Earth is covered by water.

One of the few downsides to digital photography is the delicate nature of these advanced electronics. Water, dirt, dust and other environmental contaminants can wreak havoc with expensive gadgets, and often, outdoor adventures are never preserved in photos because our cameras simply can't handle the exposure.
